New Orleans Man Sentenced to 20 Years for Heroin Conspiracy
A New Orleans man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in a large-scale heroin conspiracy that brought kilogram quantities of the deadly drug into the city.
Stanley Fulton, 40, was sentenced to 240 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Carl J. Barbier, followed by 10 years of supervised release and a $100 special assessment. Fulton was convicted of conspiring to distribute more than a kilogram of heroin in the New Orleans area, a crime he had previously been convicted of in federal court.
The investigation that led to Fulton’s sentence was sparked by a series of court-authorized wiretaps on the cell phones of New Orleans area heroin dealers. Those wiretaps revealed that a Houston-based heroin trafficker, Fredrick Douglas Brooks III, was distributing kilogram quantities of heroin in the New Orleans market through drug and bulk cash couriers.
Fulton was one of the New Orleans drug brokers who purchased kilogram and multi-kilogram quantities of heroin from Brooks’ network for further distribution in New Orleans. Fulton’s role in the conspiracy was a significant one, and his sentence reflects the severity of the crime.
U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite praised the work of the Drug Enforcement Administration in investigating this matter, saying that their work was instrumental in taking down a major heroin trafficking operation in the city. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael B. Redmann is in charge of the prosecution.
The sentencing of Fulton is a major blow to the heroin trade in New Orleans, and it serves as a reminder of the serious consequences that individuals will face if they choose to engage in this type of activity. The city’s residents can rest a little easier knowing that Fulton will be off the streets for a long time.
The investigation and prosecution of Fulton’s case is a testament to the hard work and dedication of law enforcement officials in the city. They have made it clear that they will not tolerate heroin trafficking in New Orleans, and they will do everything in their power to bring those responsible to justice.
